And what the patio looks like

Wow, such an improvement!! and it respects the original style of your house! Very impressive! I especially like the planter box and the bit of privacy it gives you.

thank you it took 4 weekends to build :)

Great transformation! Love the new look - you must be a fast worker to do it in four weekends!

ha - I realized after I said that it sounded like the whole project -after i framed the planter wall it took 4 weekends to put up the redwood planks put the irrigation drip line in and fill with dirt and plants - overall project was like 8 months of weekend work :)

Love how your updates worked and you didn't paint the brick! Great job.

That's a pretty cool idea - using washtubs as planters. I'm diggin' it!

Looks great!

thank you 😊

What a fantastic space to lounge or entertain, and very creative chic with the planters.

Looks fantastic! Great job!

What a great job. It looks very polished and modern.

I am in Arizona so - I have a few more modern and southwest touches i will add in the next few weeks - i will post the final pictures when done :)

thank you for the comments - this was my covid project but i have been flipping houses since the early 80s watching this old house with bob vila

Awesome!!!!

Love the new look!

Love what you have done to your home. And...I have to say....I really love the way the brick looks in the front of the house! Your renovation enhances its unique nature. Fabulous choices. Good job!

Love this update (and love that you worked with what you had)!

Quality work and new look! I'd like to see a night photo with the spot light(s) - if that's what's there. (What are the solar things in front of the tubs for?).

Stunning!

they are solar lights - i will post a night pic soon

photos from night

very nice!
